HOESEWEFELY MATTERS.
WASHING FLANNELS.

WASHING FLANNEho-
Put dessertspoonful of powdered
borax into pint of soft soap (hard
soap reduced to soft is quite as good) /,
and pour boiling water upon it until
the soap is melted. Mix we'll in tub
of cold water, enough to cover the
blankets. Soak an hour or two, &C.
casionally stirring; do not rub. When
they look clean put into a tub of cold
water, without wringing them, only
squeezing or draining. After moving
about a little put into clear cold wa
ter; soak awhile, put on q line to drip
and dry; or make very strong tepid
or like suds just like water IN warm
weather, enough to thoroughly wet
hours, occasionally kneeding or
punching. Squeeze the most soiled
pieces till clean and rinse thoroughly.
Blankets wet in such suds, spread on
the grass through a rain, rinsed
thoroughly and dried, look like new.
APPLE CHARLOTTE.
Butter deep dish thickly. Cut
smooth slices of bread and spread
them with butter, and line the bottom
and sides of the dish. Fill it with
sliced sour apples. Sprinkle each lay
er of apples with brown sugar and any
spice you may prefer, also few small
bits of butter. Soak some slices of
bread for a minute In milk Or water;
lay them on the top and cover them
with a plate that viii fit close, and lay
a weight upon that. Bake ~ hours
in g. moderate oven. 1t should turn
out whole into another dish. Serve
with cold sauce.
RICE CAKE.
One cup of cold boiled rice, three
and the same Of sugar, three large
cupfuls of warmed milk, a cupful of
-four, one teaspoonful of baking pow.
der sifted twice with the flour, one
even teaspoonful of salt. Beat the
yolks light; rub the sugar and lard to-
gether, and add to these then the milk
and salt, and lastly the whipped
whites and -four alternately; beat
hard one minute. Bake in q quick
oven in two "birch" tins, and eat be-
fore it falls.
ORANGE MARMALADE.
Six large sweet oranges and juice of
two lemons; shred into fine pieces with
sharp knife, leaving out the seeds;
put into preserving kettle with two
quarts OF cold water, and let it stand
all night; boil for one hour and add
five pounds of sugar and boil one hour
longer, or until the syrup it quite
thick; fill jelly tumblers or small Jars,
and when cool, cover closely. I like
this better than when made with bit
ter oranges. It keeps long time and
is easily made.
Satisfy FRTTTERS.
Scrape and drop the roots at once
into cold water, in which is mingled a
tablespoonful of vinegar. When all
are ready wipe them one by one and
CRATE them directly into batter made
in the proportion of one egg to half a
cupful of milk and tablespoonful of
prepared -four. Salt to taste when
the batter is of the right consistency
and fry by the spoonful in hot lard.
Drain and serve hot.
APPLE SNOW.
Pare and core tart, juicy apples;
stew with just enough water to keep
them from burning; sweeten with white
sugar, and beat until free from Jumps;
when cold add the juice of half lem
on, and for q dish large enough for
eight or ten persons, the whites of
two eggs; beat the mixture until it is
stiff enough to stand alone, and is as
"white as snow" Eat with whipped
cream.
LEMON PIE.
One lemon, one cup of water, two
tablespoonful of -four, one cup of
brown sugar and three eggs.
Squeeze out the juice from the
lemon, and CRATE the rind, add to
it the water, sugar and -four, mixing
the fe 1r in g. little of the water and
the beaten yolks. Keep out the
whites of the eggs, and add two tea
spoonfuls of white sugar for frosting.
This makes two pies.
